Which of the following correctly states the punishment under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 (the Central Act) for an offence under Section 10?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 10 of the Central Act uses the conjunctive and shall be liable to fine, so the punishment is rigorous imprisonment up to two years and fine up to one lakh rupees, not an alternative of imprisonment or fine as under Section 9, and not fine or simple imprisonment alone.
